Darkness after using sunscreen
Hello. I want to ask about sunscreen Whether sunscreen makes your skin more darker or not. I have heard a lot that sunscreen is a must and it should be applied 365 days even indoors. But whenever I use sunscreen it makes me more tanned and darker. I have used both mineral and physical sunscreen and i apply 3 fingers rule I do not even stay outside for a long time. Even standing outside for 5 minutes makes me tanned (with sunscreen) . I think I am fine without sunscreen but i really want to keep using sunscreen. I have used Lakme matte spf 50, Dr. Sheths , Earth Rhythm`s, Derma co`s sunscreens but none helped me from getting tan. Please tell me which sunscreen should I use which will not make me tanned and darker.
